In the end step, do players have the chance to play reactions?
Ruling: Players cannot play reactions during the end step unless something triggers that creates a chain. Phase changes do not grant priority on their own.
Sequence:
- During your turn, you can play actions/reactions when you have priority
- When you pass turn, phase changes (including to end step) do not grant priority to either player
- Priority is only granted off-turn during chains (passing priority) or showdowns (passing focus/priority)
- If a triggered ability occurs in the end step, it goes on the chain and creates reaction windows
Nuances:
- Playing units or gear does not create a priority window for the opponent
- Some cards like Annie legend or Jinx legend always go on the chain at their respective phases, which would create reaction windows
- You must have priority to play cards, and off-turn you only get priority during chains or showdowns
